Airbrushists Unit! Support The Troops With Your Airbrush Skills

I found something interesting while wondering around my favorite airbrush forum site (www.theairbrushforum.com). It looks like the buys and girls over there have gotten together to create a banner for the troops. The idea is pretty simple: a canvas banner was made and is sent to the next airbrushist on the list. You get 3 days to work on it and it comes with some supplies to help out (but the leftovers are passed on to the next person as well).

It all started with a simple idea that turned into a real event, as most things do over there, and now the banner is making it's rounds one more time. The final stop on it's list will be the hands of Tony D, the main guy behind www.airbrushtricks.com and those YouTube videos with the same name. He's serving overseas and will make sure the banner ends up in the right hands. At this time the airbrushing part of things is only available to those who have signed up on the forum and have at least 20 posts. But support comes in all shapes and sizes, so I imagine there will other things like this in the future. This isn't about politics, it's about supporting the troops - very much different things.

About Me

I am a casual PC gamer. What does that mean? That means that while I enjoy a good PC game I don't have the money to enjoy it on a machine that can play the latest ones at the highest settings. That doesn't mean that I shouldn't be able to enjoy these games and I know I'm not alone in this. It does mean, however, that I tend to play games that have been out for a year or more and often times I'm not playing those games maxed out. Bottom line? I like games. Even if I suck at them and need cheats to make it to the end.
